PROHIBITION STRAIGHT.
TContinued from Fifth Page.

the opposition fight was now weak,
when it came to the open fie.1:
The methods of the enemy in the
desperate filibustering of the night
before, had greatly weakened his
Lcsition and strengthened the
Home forces. During that excl
ting scene, several members who
were inclined to vote against the
Bill came over boldly on the Home
side.
The previous question was called
and the Bill passed by the follow
lowing
REMARKABLE PROHIBITION VoTE.
81 yeas, 20 nays.
On the question, Shall the Bill
pass,
The ayes were,
Messrs. Brown, Byrne, Chambers,
Cochran, P. B.; Cook, Davisson,
Depue, Duval, Ferguson, Gandee,
Gates, Gorrell, Hamilton, Harding,
HAMMOND, Hensley, Hoke,
Holmes, Kidd, Kincaid, Largent,
McClung, McCombs, McWhorter,
Middleton, Peck, Ragland, Rey-
nolds, Rife, Shaw, Smith, Sturm,
Sydenstrlcker, Taylor, Thayer, To-
Ter. woodward and Young-37.
The noes were:
Messrs. Rowan (Speaker), Bow
ere. Chancellor, Chew, Chipley,
Cochran, Jacob; Crockett, Garden,
Gleason, Hagans, Hager, Harding,
Kellar, Lucas, Cakes, Pugh, Ropp,
Sinclair, Spencer, and Woods-2O.
Absent on leave and not voting
Messrs. Crow, Hiner, Jones, Kin
sey, Mckinney, Roseberry, Whit
taker and Yeager-8.
So the Bill passed by exactly a
two. thirds vote of those present.
or the members absent, Messrs.
Crow, Hiner, Jones, Kinsey, Nc
Kinney and Yeager would have
voted age if present, making AZ,
two thirds of the full House, had
all been present. Surely here is a
most encouraging victory, showing
as nothing else could, the rapid
progress of Prohibition sentiment
in West Virginia.
Ga the announcement OF the vote
it was ordered that Mr.. Gorrell
communicate the passage OF the
Bill to the Senate.

THE FLY.TRAP OF VENUS.
a Pretty Plant which Attracts and Capt.
Yates Every Thing That Approaches 1t.

A Pretty Plant which Attracts and Capt.
Yates Every Thing That Approaches 1t.
One of the best known of these in
sect-eating plants found here, IS well
as in Laplsnd and Scandinavia, is the
Sun-dew (Drosera), discovered about a
Century ago. Another plant, the so
called Flytrap of Venus (Dfonea) Of
America, which was brought to Eng
land one hundred and twenty years
ago, has received the name of Venus
for the reason that, like the Goddess Of
Beauty, it attracts and captivates every
thing that heedlessly approaches it At
the bottom of the plant the leaves clus-
ter like a rosette; from the center of
this arises the fower-stalk. The edge
of the leaf, which is nearly circular, is
over-grown with strong bristles, while
its surface is covered with small glands,
at either side of which are three long
hairs. A fly approaches; carelessly it
settles on the leaf and perchance it
touches one of the six long hairs: sud-
denly the leaf folds, the bristles inter-
lace. and the insect is caught. Often
times the whole tragedy takes but ten
seconds. The sensitive hairs have per-
formed their duty; now begins the
work of the glands. These discharge a
large quantity of colorless acid slime
the digestive fluid, pepsin-and
the closed leaf changes at once
into stomachic organ. After lapse
of eight or nine days the leaf reopens,
the insect has disappeared, the prey
has been consumed. The above-men-
toned facts constitute the main features
of the process of digestion, but in con-
neetion with it many questions arise.
What happens, for instance, if a nom
edible object irritate the hairs, perhaps
a stone or a piece of wood? The leaf
closes with the greatest possible swift
ness, but soon discovers its mistake,
and does not discharge the digestive
Juice; after lapse of twenty-four hours
it again unfolds, ready for another
capture. This does away with the
marks of distinction thus far generally
accepted, namely, that "plants live,
animals live and feel'' [pld'1to rivunt.
aninsalia rirnnt ct se1stiurD, for the
Dionea distinguishes quite readily, by
taste and feeling, that which is digest
ible from that which is not. By expert
ment, it has been ascertained that nitro
genous nourishment is preferred by the
Dionea; hence every kind of meat
(beef, pork and veal, either raw, fried
or stewed) is digested by the plant;
also albumen and cheese; the latter,
however, causes disturbances during
digestion, and the leaf easily sils.-Dr.

Story Of Some Fasters Whose Feats Once
Astonished the World.

Story Of Some Fasters Whose Feats Once
Astonished the World.
The fasting feats of Succi and Mer-
latti had their rivals in the fifteenth
century. An ancient book, by one
Panormita, quotes q faster named
Picentini, or Picenta, who died bias
pheming Christ and the Virgin. This
Antonio tasted for forty days, and filled
Italy, Sicily and Spain with the fame of
his sanctity and ABSTINENCE, He was
shut up in q cell and guar d. 1t was
thought that angels brought him food
and conversed with him every day.
The truth is that he had in his cell some
large candles. These consisted of an
outer coating of wax only, which GOV.
cred hollow reeds containing farina,
bonillie and mixed hash of pheasant
and capoD, seasoned with aromatic ex-
tracts and herbs. He is also said to
have had in his girdle q tube contain
ing hyppocras.
Eneas Sylvis, in his commentaries on
this book, cites woman of Padus who
tasted forty days and nights He also
cites priest who came to Rome under
Nicholas V. from the remote part of
Gaul, and who was said to have eaten
nothing for four years, except at rare
intervals, when his Bishop forced him
to swallow q morsal. He stayed for q
long time in Rome and was regarded
as saint, but was finally beaten with
rods and exiled; since every prodigy is
suspected.
The Canon of Noyon is stated in the
Noyon Chronicles of 1410 to have alb
stained from food for three years he
dabbled IN astrology and alchemy,
scraped skulls of the dead, boiled
lizards and adders and distilled poisons
and made q '.liquor" to staye OF
hunger. he was summoned to Rome
by the predecessor of Nicholas ". Pope
Eugen w., who confided to him the
charge of his kitchen. He reduced the
expenses in that quarter ninety-five
per cent, but finally the servants
made such an outcry that the Pope had
to send him back to France. He. was
an agreeable guest and talked pleas
antly while others ate at the dinners to
which he was invited, but on his return
home he complained Of stomach ache
to his servant, arising from the smell
of the viands. like the Mussalmans,
who think that they break their fast by
inhaling perfumes The legend says
that the Canon Of Noyon got 50 thin at
Last that there was nothing left of him
but bones and skin, and that he was
blown away one gusty winter evening
and never seen again.-Neoc, Lasd ssd

Concerning Crows.

During the month of May and early
in June, before the corn has grown
beyond their injury, crows do or may
do great deal of damage. The rest
of the year they do little harm. In
early spring they search for crysolids
and worms, and are particularly fond
of mice; later, when white grabs and
cut worms come, they are indefatiga'
ble,. and so they keep up all summer

SCIENTIFIC SPANKING.
Rubber Hose n q Substitute for the Disci-
plinAry Rattan.

No one need tell me that the negro
race has no inventive powers. Our
colored schools at times have been very
unruly, and the teachers have often
been obliged to resort to the rattan.
which some of them welded with tell
ing effect, the superintendent of public
schools being continually besieged by
complaints from parents of the vigor
which this instrument of correction had
been applied to the sable euticle Of
their offspring. OF late these COM
plants have ceased, while the discipline
of the schools have greatly improved.
Some of us who had no belief in the eff
tcacy of moral suasion investigated the
matter and discovered the cause of
the change. Instead Of the usual rattan
the colored teachers had provided them
selves with short sections of rubber
hose, and as an implement to exhort
the impenitent it was crowned with
magnificent success. The youth to be
reasoned with is laid across 3 chair and
the preceptor proceeds to titillate his
epidermis with the new implement of
correction. The effect of this opera
ton is to extract howis from the culprit
far exceeding in energy any which re-
sponded TO the gentle persuasion of the
rattan, and to cause his ebon skin to
blush like the morn. But within q
short time after the application no
trace of the punishment remained. and
the suffering African was no longer
able to touch the hearts of the School
Board by an exhibition of the marks of
correction upon his dusky person. Be-
yond q strong desire to partake OF his
frugal repast from the mantelpiece, no
ill effects remained. This excellent
mode of correction has been adopted
by Q number of teachers in our white
schools, and the sensibilities Of parents
need no longer be shocked by viewing
the marks Of the rattan upon the tender
cuticle Of their erring offspring.-&

The well-borers began their drilling
yesterday morning at eleven O'CLOCK, ,.
and by half past two had reached q
depth eff thirty feet. At this point q
bed of flint was struck and progress
was not as rapid. It was thought,
though, that by midnight, when the

we notify the local bank, which then
